hauling weight
My 78 in my gallery has 15 leaves springs and 1 overload. I got the springs off a F350 DRW and my 250 springs the center bolt is 5" thick. How much "should" my truck squat with a 1300lb round bale of coastal in the bed. like 1/2" maybe. What would be considered normal for my HD truck setup. I will get some pics of loaded / unloaded

Dustin,
I like those 2006 Aerostar springs
...but springs vs. support weight depends upon the spring rate, # of springs and spring thickness. It's hard to tell, but with 15 leaves/pack, it should support 3/4 ton without sagging too much.
Do you have six 200lb friends/relatives to load in the back to test?
Good luck,
Chris
